Ugandan Girl Burned by Father for Accepting Christ


In March of 2020, twenty-four Rehema Kyomuhendo accompanied her father, a Sheikh (Muslim Teacher) on a business trip in Uganda.  During the trip, she spoke with a colleague of her fathers and learned he was a Christian.  As she learned about his faith, she became a believer and converted.  Her father soon found out and flew into a rage, beating her and then burning her with gasoline.  Rehema's aunt and a Christian neighbor subdued her father and rushed Rehema to a local hospital where was treated for serious burns across her body.  
Under Sharia Law, leaving the Islamic faith is a death sentence, and in many instances a convert may be killed by a member of her own family.  This is exactly what Jesus warned us about in Matthew 10:35-36: "Do not assume I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword.  For I have come to turn a man against his Father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.  A man's enemies will be the members of his own household."  We must pray for Rehema, but we should also pray for her father.  The Lord told us in Matthew 5:44 to love our enemies and pray for our persecutors.  We must remember the The Apostle Paul was once a persecutor, and he ultimately became a powerful believer.  There have been many Saul's who have become Paul's.  Let us pray that Rehema finds comfort in her faith, and her father repents his wicked ways and finds the truth about Jesus.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...
